今天(2月6日)是现任英国女王伊丽莎白二世登基70周年的纪念日,超长待机的女王再一次刷新了由她自己创下的英国君主在位时间纪录。 做为史上最长待机的在位女王,她可以算得上是世界名人中的名人,很多人对她的爱戴已经超越了国籍(谁让她是英联邦国家的国家元首呢)~ (图:CNN) 这个集威严,高贵,优雅于一身的女人,在经历过战乱,动荡,危机后,实现了她当初许下的承诺并活成了所有人羡慕的样子: “我向所有人宣布,我将奉献出整个生命——无论长短,为你们服务,为我们所有人都属于的这个伟大家族服务。” ——1947年伊丽莎白二世 (图:CNN) 1 英国女王举行小型招待会 庆祝登基70周年纪念日 2 女王发布公开信 力挺儿媳卡米拉 女王公开信内容 Tomorrow,
6th February, marks the 70th anniversary of my Accession in 1952. It
is a day that, even after 70 years, I still remember as much for the
death of my father, King George VI, as for the start of my reign.As we
mark this anniversary, it gives me pleasure to renew to you the pledge I
gave in 1947 that my life will always be devoted to your service. 明天2月6日,是我在1952年即位之后的70周年纪念日,即使过了70年,我仍然记得那天,我的父亲乔治六世国王去世,我的统治开始。在我们纪念这天时,我很荣幸向您重申我在1927年做出的承诺:我的一生将致力于为您服务。 As
I look ahead with a sense of hope and optimism to the year of my
Platinum Jubilee, I am reminded of how much we can be thankful for.
These last seven decades have seen extraordinary progress socially,
technologically and culturally that have benefitted us all; and I am
confident that the future will offer similar opportunities to us and
especially to the younger generations in the United Kingdom and
throughout the Commonwealth. 当我怀揣希望,并乐观地度过铂金禧年时,我想起了许多可以感恩的事情。过去的70年中,英国的社会、技术和文化都取得了非凡的进步,这让我们所有人受益,相信未来世界一定充满机遇,特别是对于英国与英联邦的年轻人来说。 I
am fortunate to have had the steadfast and loving support of my
family.I was blessed that in Prince Philip I had a partner willing to
carry out the role of consort and unselfishly make the sacrifices that
go with it. It is a role I saw my own mother perform during my father’s
reign. 我很幸运得到了家人坚定而充满爱意的支持。我很幸运,在菲利普亲王身边扮演了一个无私奉献的配偶角色,在我父亲统治期间,我的母亲也是这么做的。 This
anniversary also affords me a time to reflect on the goodwill shown to
me by people of all nationalities, faiths and ages in this country and
around the world over these years. I would like to express my thanks to
you all for your support. I remain eternally grateful for, and humbled
by, the loyalty and affection that you continue to give me. And when,
in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will
give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me;
and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be
known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service. 这次周年纪念也给我时间去反思这些年来,英国社会中不同国籍、信仰和年龄的人们所展现出的善意。我想对大家的支持表示感谢,我永远将谦卑地感谢你们给予我的忠诚与感情。当我的儿子查尔斯王子成为国王时,我知道你们会像支持我一样去支持他和他的妻子卡米拉,我真诚地期望,到那时卡米拉会成为王后,并且忠诚地为王室服务。 And
so as I look forward to continuing to serve you with all my heart, I
hope this Jubilee will bring together families and friends, neighbours
and communities – after some difficult times for so many of us – in
order to enjoy the celebrations and to reflect on the positive
developments in our day-to-day lives that have so happily coincided with
my reign. 因此,我期待着继续全心全意服务于人民,在许多人经历了困难时期之后,我希望这个铂金禧年能够凝聚家人朋友、邻居社区;我们可以享受庆祝活动,并思考日常生活中积极发展的方面,这些发展将与我的统治理念愉快地吻合。 (图:推特,翻译:英伦圈) “在这个历史性的日子里,我和我的妻子与大家一起祝贺伊丽莎白女王为这个国家、王国和英联邦服务 70 年所取得的非凡成就。 On
this historic day, my wife and I join you all in congratulating Her
Majesty the Queen on the remarkable achievement of serving this nation,
the Realms and Commonwealth for 70 years. 女王对她所有人民的奉献令人敬佩,我们深深地意识到我母亲的愿望所代表的荣誉。 The
Queen's devotion to the welfare of all her people inspires still
greater admiration with each passing year. We are deeply conscious of
the honour represented by my mother's wish. 当我们一起努力为女王陛下与我们的人民提供服务和支持时,我亲爱的妻子一直是坚定地支持者。 As
we have sought together to serve and support Her Majesty and the people
of our communities, my darling wife has been my own steadfast support
throughout. 史无前例的白金禧年为我们所有人提供了机会,让我们一起庆祝女王的服务,我们也会在未来纪念继续以她为榜样。” The
year of this unprecedented Platinum Jubilee brings an opportunity for
us all to come together in celebrating the service of the Queen, by
whose example we will continue to be led in the years to come." 3 庆祝活动日程安排 5月12-15日 温莎表演 超过 500 匹马和 1000 名表演者将在温莎城堡参加一场90 分钟的表演,带领观众踏上从伊丽莎白一世到今天的历史之旅。 6月2日 阅兵式 将有1400多名士兵、200匹马与400名音乐家参与阅兵式表演,这是疫情以来第一次举行全面大型的阅兵仪式。同一天,铂金禧年灯塔(Platinum
